InsectERA

A New Bioindustrial Sector
InsectERA is a Mobilizing Agenda for Business Innovation from the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) framework that aims to enable the industrialization and commercialization of innovative products based on insects, both in the food sector (animal and human nutrition) and other industries (cosmetics or bioplastics) and the innovative field of bioremediation.
InsectERA Agenda covers the entire innovation cycle, from R&D to manufacturing and commercialization of products in the market, relying on technologically advanced production of the insects and the derived raw materials. It represents a set of projects and business initiatives aimed at promoting the circular economy and leveraging the development of new products, services, and solutions with high added value from a sustainable natural source.
Solfarcos is responsible for exploring raw materials sourced from insects for cosmetic applications.
Project co-founded by the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR - Portugal, recuperarportugal.gov.pt) and NextGeneration EU.
